This bill would change Title 5 of the United States Code to add Easter Monday to the list of legal public holidays. The text would insert an item after Washington's Birthday that defines Easter Monday as "the first Monday that occurs after the first Sunday that occurs after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox (commonly known as 'Easter Sunday')." The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Eric Schmitt on April 10, 2025, and was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary.
The bill would formally designate Easter Monday as a legal public holiday in federal statute (Title 5). That change would add the day to the list of named legal public holidays in the United States Code.
